Re: Telnet and Xprograms

[Gregory Green <Gregory.Green@advantagecom.com>]

I have been doing just what you suggested but I get the errors anyway.
I get the same error when I run xhost.  I am telneting in to my Debian box running X,
from a PC running Windblows using the procomm 32 telnet program.  Is this a server
problem or do not have the telnet session set up properly?

Thanks,
Greg
